Nice guy and long time editor and freelancer in publishing, Tom Dupree puts in a single post a very, very concise and clear history of why publishing is the way it is today, with women in control.
Brilliant post. A must read for anyone in or coming into this business.

Dean, I really treasure those kind words. I’m so glad you enjoyed my post.
